Timeline of Changes
This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.

Note: General rules for conditions of use of Food additives in Part 3 U.K.
(1) Food Additives presented in Table 1 of Part 6 of this Annex, which are generally permitted for use in food under the general ‘ quantum satis ’ principle, included in Annex II Part C(1) Group I, have been included as food additives in food enzymes under the general ‘ quantum satis ’ principle, unless stated otherwise. U.K.
(2) For phosphates and silicates, when used as additives, maximum limits have been set only in the food enzyme preparation and not in the final food. U.K.
(3) For all other food additives with a numerical ADI value maximum limits have been set for the food enzyme preparation and the final food. U.K.
(4) No food additives are authorised for their function as colour, sweetener or flavour enhancer.] U.K.
